Bottled. Very dark ruby red colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is sour fruits and also sourish notes from freshly cut wood rowan berries. Flavour is sour fruits along with some mild sweetness to balance it up. The aftertaste is quite sweetish sourness in a very pleasant way. Though 3.5%, it does feel like a lot more in my opinion.

Small yellowish head over fully dark-brown beer. Acetic & lactic acids, artificial sweetener jumping out of the bottle, wood. Tastes like sweet deep-frying oil, alleviated by lactic acid; acetic acid not perceptible in the taste. Despite the awful sweetener, the balance between sweet-sour is near-perfect. Slick, oily, lots of restsweetness. Excellent for its style - WHICH IS LOW ALCOHOL - not for the beerlover.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head leaving some laces. Aroma of iron and brown sugar. Light body with immediate notes of iron and a light tartness quickly relieved by the dark sugars. An interesting light Flemish Sour and probably would be a pleasant session beer. Somewhat underrated. 171206

Bottled. Reddish-brown, well-carbonating beer with a large, firm, creamy beige head. Acidic and tart cherries on the nose, but weak. Mild sourness in the flavor, along with cherries, raspberry, some lemon-like notes and caramel. Very sweet, but watery mouthfeel. Sweet and metallic finish. (060616)

Dark amber color. Spicy aroma (cloves), some malt. In the flavor there is a little portion of the Verhaeghe character and light sweetness, but it’s too weak. In the final there is a light wood/cask touch.

A hazy deep red beer with a fine beige head. The aroma is primarily sour, but also malty. The flavor is both sweet and sour with notes of berries. This is in the mild end of the style, but very nice.

Reddish-brown colour. Sweet, slightly sour character with a hint of caramel and sugar. Finish, though, is tart, with a hint of fruitiness.
